Saturday Sampler progress

 Another month of Saturday Sampler is complete - and now we are forced to be patient until next month to see what is next.  Each month we are given 2 small "sections" to make based on Lori Holt's book Quilty Fun.  So far these sections have been so quick to make.


For February, we made 2 of the Cups of Cocoa blocks and 3 Tree blocks. So cute.  I'm very happy with my choice of 30s prints along with that simple background.  There are tiny randomly spaced navy squares on the white background. Just enough to give it some interest. 


In January we made 3 different length strips of flying geese with no background fabric at all.  I'm thinking these may end up as spacers somewhere in the quilt. And then we made these X blocks and half-Xs.  You can see that I have LOTS of 30s prints to choose from and these all used just scraps because the pieces were small. 


We began this Saturday Sampler back in November.  The Apple blocks and Star blocks were the first sections we did.  Then we added the Courthouse Steps and the Baskets in December.    

Each little section has been a different size and so we don't know exactly how these will go together.  The book has so many cute blocks, and we have no idea which ones may be included in our Saturday Sampler.  The mystery is half the fun!!

These are adorable. This would make a mini quilt on its own.

You've got a fun collection of blocks for this project. I really like the flying geese, they are just so colorful.
